Chapter 1996

"You're Sage Liu?"

Gu Chen quickly calmed down and guessed after smelling the fragrance of plants coming from the other party.

"That's right."

Sage Liu didn't deny it and carefully sized up Gu Chen.

"Although I know that the Chen Clan has a genius, Chen Yunfei, I didn't expect a little brat like you to have the ability to assassinate the Yamata no Orochi without anyone noticing."

"It seems like you're hiding a lot of secrets."

Sage Liu was really surprised. On the surface, he sent his three subordinates to the Chen Clan to test the waters, but in reality, he followed them secretly to thoroughly understand the situation of the Chen Clan.

When he saw that the Chen Clan only had such a young elder to receive his people, he was disdainful. With just this bit of strength, the Chen Clan actually dared to fight for territory with him everywhere.

However, the development of the situation was very surprising. He actually made a mistake. This young man actually defeated his right-hand man!

As a result, he developed a strong curiosity and wanted to know what the Chen Clan was hiding. Seeing that his three subordinates weren't in danger, he just watched coldly from the side.

He saw that the three demons were interrogated separately, and the questions were a little strange.

After that, the two of them left the room and had a conversation when they thought there was no one around, which made him even more shocked.

Ancestor Mu wanted to use him to lure out Sage Chen who had been missing for many years?

And this youngest elder of the Chen Clan was actually plotting whether or not to kill him, and from the tone of his subordinates, killing him didn't seem to be a difficult task?

He felt that he had fallen into a trap. Not only Ancestor Mu, but also this brat!

"My subordinate made a slip of the tongue and let Sage Liu see a joke. Sage Liu's skills are profound, how would this brat dare to be rash? "

Gu Chen said respectfully, but he was thinking about what he had said to the Clay Bodhisattva and whether he had said anything fatal.

It was unlikely that Sage Liu appeared here just now. It was very likely that he had been here since the three demons came to visit.

He was clearly here, but he didn't show up and allowed the three demons to be humiliated and captured. This showed how shrewd he was.

Furthermore, he had been here for so long, but he didn't notice. Even his foresight had failed, which was even more unimaginable.

Fortunately, he hadn't revealed any fatal flaws since the three demons arrived.

During this period of time, pretending to be the real Chen Yunfei had penetrated deep into his bones. Even when he was fighting, he used Daoist techniques that Chen Yunfei, who possessed the Dao root of five elements, could use. Sage Liu should not be able to see any flaws in his moves.

As for his conversation with the Clay Bodhisattva, he did not mention his true identity. As long as his identity was not exposed, there was still room for negotiation!

"This little one is ignorant, this little one is arrogant! Sage Liu, please forgive me for my nonsense just now! "

The Clay Bodhisattva was very cooperative. He immediately knelt on the ground and pretended to be panic-stricken. He kowtowed to Sage Liu and apologized.

At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to mention the death of the Hakone Saint just now?

"Alright, stop putting on an act. Judging from the way the two of you spoke just now, I'm afraid it's not the first time you've played around with others."

"Be honest and answer my questions. Don't even think about lying. Otherwise, I'll tell the world your secrets."

"That's right, regardless of whether you have the ability or not, don't even think about killing me. The one in front of you is just an illusion."

Sage Liu said with slight sarcasm. These words immediately dispelled Gu Chen's impulse to silence him.

Mount Dingkong was already under the surveillance of the Shepherd Tribe. Fighting with Sage Liu would definitely attract attention. Since his original body was not here, there was even less need for him to take the risk!

"Sage Liu, you're straightforward! I was going to find some time to visit you. It's good that you're here. It saves me the trouble. It's not good for others to see me visiting you now. "

Gu Chen changed his tone and did not have the previous respect.

"Visit me? Not to kill me? "

Sage Liu realized that the person in front of him was a little too calm. He did not show any signs of being forced into a corner. He was indeed not simple.

"Sage Liu, you must be joking. Now that the Green Willow Holy Ground and the Chen Tribe are interdependent, why would I want to harm you?"

Gu Chen looked magnanimous. "I'm sure Sage Liu has heard what I said earlier. This time, Ancestor Mu intends to use you to target my Chen Tribe. Is Sage Liu willing to be used by him?"

"Of course, it's fine if there are benefits to be gained after being used, but Ancestor Mu is clearly not that magnanimous. After dealing with my Chen Tribe, he'll deal with Sage Liu next!"

Sage Liu's expression did not change when he heard this obvious attempt to sow discord. He said indifferently, "You must be joking. I'm just a mere Saint. What right do I have to be targeted by Ancestor Mu? Since Ancestor Mu has the intention to target the Chen Tribe, I'll follow his wishes and eradicate you. I'll expand my territory and make a contribution. What's wrong with that? "

"Sage Liu is really that naive?" Gu Chen sneered.

Sage Liu's face instantly darkened.

The amount of time he had interacted with Ancestor Mu was incomparable to this brat. Now, he was the one being mocked.

Of course, he knew that with Ancestor Mu's personality, he would not sit by and watch him grow. He would definitely suppress him in various ways, both in the open and in the dark.

However, he was already mentally prepared for this kind of suppression. If he wanted to grow his influence and obtain more cultivation resources to advance, he would have to face this pressure sooner or later.

"Let's just take it that Ancestor Mu is truly broad-minded and tolerant. Sage Liu also heard it just now. This time, Ancestor Mu is targeting my ancestor. If my ancestor is really still alive, aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of my ancestor by attacking my clan?"

"Sage Liu can guess. If Ancestor Mu attacks you, will Ancestor Mu save you in time or wait for you to die before making a move?"

Gu Chen asked again. Hearing this, Sage Liu only replied coldly. "The premise of everything is that your ancestor is really still alive."

"Sage Liu has to be clear about one thing. Right now, it's Ancestor Mu who thinks that my ancestor is still alive. It's not me who thinks so!" Gu Chen reminded him with a heavier tone.

Sage Liu's expression instantly became uncertain.

That's right, this matter was a little strange. Chen Sheng had disappeared for so many years, so why did Ancestor Mu suspect that he was still alive?

Although the Chen Clan had recently re-entered the world, Ancestor Mu had long had the opportunity to threaten Chen Sheng with the Chen Clan's survival!

Since Ancestor Mu suspected that Chen Sheng might still be alive at this time, there had to be some basis for it. If Sage Liu charged forward like this and really clashed with Chen Sheng, not only would he suffer losses, his life would also be in danger!

Back then, Chen Sheng was able to make Ancestor Mu feel threatened, which was enough to show his strength. Be it him or the Hakone Saint, they were both inferior to him.

So many years had passed, and only the heavens knew how much he had grown. Hastily choosing a side and offending him was definitely not a wise choice.

Moreover, if he chose to side with Ancestor Mu, Ancestor Mu would not give him any benefits!
